‘When peace like a river attendeth my way. When sorrows like sea billows roll. Whatever my lot thou hast taught me to say, ‘It is well. It is well with my soul.’ I wish I was better at being joyful in hard circumstances, on those days when it feels like all the waves and the billows are crashing over me, not so self pitying. Father God I need to see your glory instead of focusing on my weakness. My soul needs to long for You Lord and stop longing after personal comfort and an easy life. Help me to glorify You even when I am weak. Because You are strong.” #nourishyoursoul #whenpeacelikeariver #beautyinchrist

I over-think all the wrong things. Of course, I don’t think you could ever over think or even reach the capacity of over thinking who God is and what God does to sinners that need His mercy. I don’t think you could even reach the capacity of over thinking about God’s love and forgiveness. But I over think the other things, the little things that don’t matter in the big scheme. I over think whether or not I’ll die tomorrow or in 80 years instead of just trusting God’s perfect plan for me. I over think my own faults instead of resting in God’s promise of forgiveness in Jesus Christ.

And I don’t like that about myself. I don’t like being an over thinker. I want to be more like Peter and walk out on the water. But I also understand that I’m also going to have that human weakness of seeing the winds and the waves around me like Peter did and start to sink.

The Life of the Writer

I live in the beautiful state of Colorado where 14ers are to give you all the sore legs you need, amazing skiing, plenty of other runners, glorious sunsets, majestic elk herds, and peaceful country roads with clear air.

I am a very ordinary girl. I’m 21, but if you met me, you wouldn’t believe me. I am passionate about girls finding true beauty in Christ. I love peanut butter, icecream, and salad. My hobbies are cooking, baking, sharing laughs and tears with others, and sharing the fullness of joy that Christ has put in me. I love reading other blogs, and I hope that this will be a place where you can find encouragement, recipes, smiles, and joy. Click here to read more about me...
